Secret Police
☼ The first secret police, called the Cheka, was established in December of 1917 as a temporary institution to be abolished once Vladimir Lenin and the Bolsheviks had consolidated their power.
☼ Under Party Stalin, the secret police again acquired vast punitive powers and in 1934 was renamed the People's Comissariat for Internal Affairs, or NKVD. No longer subject to party control or restricted by law, the NKVD became a direct instrument of Stalin for use against the party and country.
☼ The secret police remained the most powerful and feared Soviet institution throughout the Stalinist period.
☼ Although the KGB no longer inflicted such large-scale purges, terror, and forced depopulation on the peoples of the Soviet Union, it continued to be used by the Kremlin leadership to suppress political and religious dissent.
☼ The head of the KGB was a key figure in resisting the democratization of the late 1980's and in organizing the attempted putsch of August of 1991.
☼ The KGB was Stalin's Secret Police
